This is probably my favorite pop album ever, and one of my favorites ever. Patrick Wolf is one of my favorites, and ridiculously talented since he plays like 291382 instruments very well and has amazing range. This album like takes you on a ride from the upbeatness of Accident & Emergency to the mellow and beautiful the Stars. I think all the songs are beautifully arranged and orchestrated, the variety of instruments is fantastic. So w0rd dicuss the album and check it out if you havn't.

Book News for Tuesday, June 5, 2007Posted by Brockman, June 5, 2007 12:15 pm No Comments Filed under: Book News.
- McCarthy Gets a Free Car and a Hug: Today is the day reclusive novelist Cormac McCarthy will appear on The Oprah Winfrey Show to discuss his bestseller The Road, which was Oprah's most recent book club pick.
The literary establishment was surprised at Winfrey's choice because it views her selections as lowbrow and repeating a familiar formula....Oprah books have become a cliché, at least among the folks who think themselves her betters. The literary establishment believes that if Winfrey likes a book by a living writer, that writer must be awful. That's why Jonathan Franzen didn't want to appear on Oprah's show when she chose his novel The Corrections.
So why on earth would a "lowbrow" like Oprah pick a "highbrow" novel like The Road? According to the L.A. Times:
American literary authors have all but abandoned the general reading public, noses upturned. To Winfrey, though, an author's literary style, erudition or linguistic experimentation is of secondary importance: She's primarily concerned with the social aspects of literature, how literature can help our culture. If the work doesn't have a useful moral foundation that has the potential to make the world a more civil and pleasant place, it's not going to be one of her selections.
[...] McCarthy doesn't kid himself, or his readers, for that matter: violence and power hold dominion over our natural history. But woven through that history are also our better qualities, qualities that will not be eliminated unless our species becomes extinct. This message explains why Winfrey chose The Road for her book club. Though the novel is bleak, McCarthy believes in the human capacity for goodness in a violent world. He just happens to be a great writer as well.
Check local listings for time and channel — or just wait a few hours and hit YouTube for the inevitable clips (until they get taken down).
- Missing Bookmarks: J. K. Rowling is considering including bookmarks in copies of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows with the picture of missing 4-year-old girl Madeleine McCann.
The Guardian's Zoe Williams explains why this won't help anyone find the girl.
- Clinton vs. Clinton: The New York Times tackles the dueling Hillary Clinton biographies with dueling reviews.
Robert Dallek (author of Nixon and Kissinger: Partners in Power, among others) reviews
Her Way: The Hopes and Ambitions of Hillary Rodham Clinton by Jeff Gerth and Don Van Natta Jr., finding it to be mandatory reading for Clinton's opponents.
Mr. Gerth and Mr. Van Natta seem to detect no angels in Mrs. Clinton's nature whatsoever, much less better ones, and the result is a one-sided figure who never quite springs to life or feels truly authentic.
Dallek also reviews Carl Bernstein's book, A Woman in Charge: The Life of Hillary Rodham Clinton, calling it "a more balanced and convincing picture of Mrs. Clinton."
Meanwhile, Lady Deathstrike, a.k.a. Michiko Kakutani, gives her own assessment of Bernstein's book, and she is not pleased:
Mr. Bernstein has written a serious, energetically researched and largely fluent book, but there is little new in this volume: its disclosures amount mainly to embroiderings on already well-known aspects of the Clintons' lives.
Bernstein has already announced the title of his next book, which will be Death Writes for the Times: The Bloodthirsty Reign of Michiko Kakutani.
- BEA Closure: And finally, here is the rest of Marshall's report from BEA, this time in her own words:
÷ ÷ ÷
Gossipy rag stuff about BEA...
With all the un-mussed beds in New York City this weekend, the entire hotel housekeeping staff must have been able to put their feet up for once! Every BEA party was filled to sweaty, overflowing capacity as booksellers from around the country got their drink on at publishers' expense. Hotels were used merely as showering pit-stops between soirees, which happened several times a day, given the over 90 degree weather with absolutely stifling humidity.
There was a run on Band-Aids in every drugstore due to the copious blisters on the feet of women who brought their well-heeled best, only to find that city blocks are long in New York. But that didn't stop anyone from dancing the rest of their feet off at the competing after-parties on Saturday night.
After drinking too much, talking too much, and generally not sleeping enough for the entire show, you may be wondering if anything work-related got done. Well, the show floor was packed, meeting tables always full, and the general hubbub felt like a very productive beehive. Terms were agreed upon, deals were made, rights were negotiated, plans were made for future sales of the generally outstanding book lists for this coming fall. Besides, most of anything that gets done happens after that second cocktail anyway!

Here's why: UCONN in conjunction with CT DEEP made a bathymetric map of my lake in 2011 (see http://cteco.uconn.edu/map_catalog/maps/lake/bathymetry/Bathymetry_Coventry_Lake.pdf). However, frankly, it's not nearly nerdy enough for me. It's quite coarse and I'm pretty certain it's incorrect in places - for example, it shows the area off my dock getting deep pretty quickly, but when I've dove out there it doesn't even get to 20ft for at least 100yds.
As a nerd, I want to remedy this. I want to hook a depth finder up to a Raspberry Pi and GPS so I can paddle around the lake and get a higher fidelity map of my lake.
I'd rather not resort to using a webcam and OCR to read the numbers off the display, but I can do that if I absolutely need to.
In the most broad sense Watson is IBM's brand name for our cognitive technologies. Cognitive technologies are more than traditional machine learning (which often focuses around classifiers and NLP). Cognitive goes deeper to try and provide insight to challenging problems for which there isn't always a single correct answer. Here's a couple of examples of that:
1. IBM and MD Anderson Cancer center are creating the Watson Oncology Advisor. This is a tool that continually takes in the latest research on cancer and provides information and assistance to the doctor on drugs and interactions that the doctor may not have been able to consider - largely because it's impossible for a doctor to stay up to date on the literature.
2. IBM has partnered with Bon Appetit to release Chef Watson, this is the extension of the IBM Food Truck project that I ran at SXSW in March. When it comes to "What's for dinner?" there are many wrong answers, but there isn't one single correct answer. Instead what Chef Watson does is use the information extracted from a large number of recipes provided by Bon Appetit to understand the general structure of dishes and themes - for example, you can make a summer themed soup, which normally don't exist as soup is generally a fall/winter dish.
As far as the specific technologies - a lot of it based on UIMA (https://uima.apache.org/), which forms the core of what we call "Watson Core". We've also published a lot of papers about more specific details through the DeepQA group at research (http://researcher.watson.ibm.com/researcher/view_group_pubs.php?grp=2099).
Does that help?
We've created an interactive, collaborative analytics tool by integrating Google Docs, Chrome, and IPython. You can open a notebook from Drive. You can share notebooks like you would share a Google Doc. You can comment and edit collaboratively, in realtime. There is zero setup, because all the computation happens in Chrome. You can even quickly and easily package your analytics pipeline into a GUI for folks that don't want to program. In effect, you can go from zero to analytics with little impedance.
What's even better is that you can build on our work. It will all be open source on top of public Google APIs. We'll have a larger Google Research blog post about this work when we release the code and the Chrome application.
Don't you change. EVER.

While there are certainly many viable options-buying strategies available to traders, options expiration data obtained from the CME covering a three-year period suggests that buyers are fighting against the odds. Based on data obtained from the CME, I analyzed five major CME option markets - the S&P 500, eurodollars, Japanese yen, live cattle and Nasdaq 100 - and discovered that three out of every four options expired worthless. In fact, of put options alone, 82.6% expired worthless for these five markets.
Three key patterns emerge from this study: (1) on average, three out of every four options held to expiration end up worthless; (2) the share of puts and calls that expired worthless is influenced by the primary trend of the underlying; and (3) option sellers still come out ahead even when the seller is going against the trend.
CME Data
Based on a CME study of expiring and exercised options covering a period of three years (1997, 1998 and 1999), an average of 76.5% of all options held to expiration at the Chicago Mercantile Exchange expired worthless (out of the money). This average remained consistent for the three-year period: 76.3%, 75.8% and 77.5% respectively, as shown in Figure 1. From this general level, therefore, we can conclude that for every option exercised in the money at expiration, there were three options contracts that expired out of the money and thus worthless, meaning option sellers had better odds than option buyers for positions held until expiration.
Figure 1 - Percentage CME Exercised & Expired Worthless Options
Source: CME Exercised/Expired Recap For Expired Contract Report
We present the data as options exercised versus those expiring worthless. Figure 2 contains the actual numbers, showing that there were 20,003,138 expired (worthless) options and 6,131,438 exercised (in the money) options. Futures options that are in the money at expiration are automatically exercised. Therefore, we can derive the total of expired worthless options by subtracting those exercised from total options held to expiration. When we take a closer look at the data, we will be able to spot certain patterns, such as how a trend bias in the underlying affects the share of call options versus put options expiring worthless. Clearly, however, the overall pattern is that most options expired worthless.
Figure 2 - Total CME Exercise & Expired Worthless Call and Put Options
Source: CME Exercised/Expired Recap For Expired Contract Report
The three-year averages of exercised options (in the money) versus options expiring worthless (out of the money) for the markets examined below confirm what the overall findings indicate: a bias in favor of option sellers. In Figure 3, the totals for exercised (in the money) and worthless-expired options for the S&P 500, NASDAQ 100, eurodollar, Japanese yen and live cattle are presented. For both puts and calls traded in each of these markets, options expiring worthless outnumbered those expiring in the money.
For example, if we take S&P 500 stock index futures options, a total of 2,739,573 put options expired worthless compared with just 177,741 that expired in the money.
Figure 3 - Total Exercised/Expired Options Contracts
Source: CME Exercised/Expired Recap For Expired Contract Report
As for call options, a primary bull market trend helped buyers, who saw 843,414 call options expire worthless compared with 587,729 expiring in the money - clearly a much better performance by option buyers than put buyers. Eurodollars, meanwhile, had 4,178,247 put options expiring worthless, while 1,041,841 expired in the money. Eurodollar call buyers, however, did not do much better. A total of 4,301,125 call options expired worthless while just 1,378,928 ended up in the money, despite a favorable (i.e. bullish) trend. As the rest of the data in this study shows, even when trading with the primary trend, most buyers still ended up losing on positions held until expiration.
Figure 4 - Percentage Exercised/Expired Options Contracts
Source: CME Exercised/Expired Recap For Expired Contract Report
Figure 4 presents the data in terms of percentages, which makes it a little easier to make comparisons. For the group as a whole, put options expiring worthless for the entire group had the highest percentage, with 82.6% expiring out of the money. The percentage of call options expiring worthless, meanwhile, came to 74.9%. The put options percentage expiring worthless came in above the average of the entire study cited earlier (of all the CME futures options, 76.5% expired worthless) because the stock index options on futures (Nasdaq 100 and S&P 500) had very large numbers of put options expiring worthless, 95.2 % and 93.9% respectively.
This bias in favor of put sellers can be attributed to the strong bullish bias of the stock indexes during this period, despite some sharp but short-lived market declines. Data for 2001-2003, however, may show a shift toward more calls expiring worthless, reflecting the change to a primary bear market trend since early 2000.
Data presented in this study comes from a three-year report conducted by the CME of all options on futures traded on the exchange. While not the entire story, the data suggests overall that option sellers have an advantage in the form of a bias towards options expiring out of the money (worthless). We show that if the option seller is trading with the trend of the underlying, this advantage increases substantially. Yet if the seller is wrong about the trend, this does not dramatically change the probability of success. On the whole, the buyer, therefore, appears to face a decided disadvantage relative to the seller.
Even though we suggest that the data understates the case for selling because it does not tell us how many of the options that expired in the money were winning rather than losing trades, the data should say enough to encourage you to think of developing selling strategies as your primary approach to trading options. Having said that, however, we should emphasize that selling strategies can involve substantial risk (buyers, by definition, face limited losses), so it is important to practice strict money management and to trade only with risk capital when deploying selling strategies.

United's pilot union says adamantly opposed to fuel monitoring
In a letter to United pilots, United Master Executive Council chairman Jay Heppner states, "Let me be very clear at the onset: The UAL MEC policy manual clearly states that we 'deem any fuel monitoring program using identified pilot information as promoting unsafe practices such as competitive flying.' While we 'endorse the most conservative fuel load, whether it is the dispatcher's fuel or the captain's fuel,' we fully support the captain's authority to plan his fuel load without undue influence from any monitoring program. Such programs have been used in the past to coerce captains to not add fuel when, in their judgment, they may have felt it prudent to do so. The tracking and scoring of captain's fuel loads can also lead to other issues; not the least of which is a degradation to safety and captain's authority. Fuel tracking can also lead to pilot pushing, intimidation and harassment by management in order to force compliance with 'fuel policy.' ALPA has worked tirelessly to ensure all captains have the tools necessary to make the safest and most appropriate decisions regarding fuel loads and all other decisions pertaining to every aspect of the preflight planning process. We are not necessarily opposed to a company fuel policy, but we are adamantly opposed to 'fuel tracking,' 'fuel monitoring' and 'competitive flying.'"

Market overly negative on Aerojet Rocketdyne, says Oppenheimer
After Boeing (BA) rejected an unsolicited offer from Aerojet Rocketdyne (AJRD) for United Launch Alliance, a 50/50 joint venture of Boeing and Lockheed Martin (LMT), Oppenheimer thinks the market's reaction to the news ignores Aerojet's positive catalysts. The firm says that the news will not impact Aerojet's operations until 2019 and will probably not have an impact of more than about $115M. The firm keeps a $26 price target and Outperform rating on Aerojet.

Chinese president visits U.S. amid cybersecurity, copyright worries
As part of his first official U.S. visit, Chinese president Xi Jinping held a meeting with American business leaders on Wednesday to address concerns of copyright infringement and cybersecurity, among numerous topics. In attendance were corporate giants from both nations, including Microsoft (MSFT), Apple (AAPL), Amazon (AMZN), Cisco (CSCO), Alibaba (BABA), Tencent (TCEHY), and Baidu (BIDU), according to media reports. COPYRIGHT CONCERNS: Responding to oft-cited concerns of copyright infringement by Chinese companies, Xi said China will "stand firm to protect" the intellectual property rights of American companies, according to Wall Street Journal coverage of the event. Note that in late 2014, China began establishing specialized courts to deliberate on intellectual property rights cases, and Xi commented Wednesday that "the newly established IPR courts are working smoothly. This means there will be much stronger IPR protection which will serve the interests of foreign businesses as well as Chinese companies." Chinese consumer electronics company Xiaomi is perhaps the most talked-about firm when it comes to the matter, with media outlets frequently criticizing its alleged "copying" of Apple design sensibilities. In mid-July, Xiaomi VP of global operations Hugo Barra told Bloomberg that the company is preparing to enter U.S. markets, though he cautioned that the launch could be "much more" than a year away as it seeks to build up its patent portfolio. CYBERSECURITY TENSIONS: Wednesday's meeting comes in the wake of numerous high-profile "hack attacks," with Sony (SNE), American Airlines (AAL), Anthem (ANTM), United Airlines (UAL), and Target (TGT) all reporting digital security breaches in recent years. Xi has consistently denied the involvement of state-backed hackers, but tensions have nevertheless arisen as cybersecurity firms such as FireEye (FEYE) and Palo Alto Networks (PANW) backtrace connections to the country. Cybersecurity intrusions originating from China have recently slowed ahead of Xi's visit, according to Reuters, with Kevin Mandia of security firm Mandiant telling the publication, "In my gut, I feel like the Chinese and the U.S. over the next couple of years are going to figure this out."
On The Fly: Top stock stories for Wednesday
Stocks began the day in quiet fashion and remained that way during the first hour of trading. Following the release of the weekly energy inventory report, the averages moved lower and looked to be possibly setting up for another selloff. Positive comments on China's economy by its President, who is visiting the U.S., brought out buyers, who pared the market's losses. The averages finished slightly in the red in a day marked by low volume as a number of market participants may have been absent in observance of the Jewish holiday of Yom Kippur. ECONOMIC EVENTS: In the U.S., Markit's flash manufacturing purchasing manager's index was flat at 53.0 in September, which was slightly better than the expectation for it to dip to 52.8. EIA inventory data showed a 1.93M barrel fall in crude oil inventories, versus expectations for a weekly drawdown of 1.25M barrels. In China, Markit's flash manufacturing PMI fell to 47.0 in September from 47.3 last month. In Europe, Markit's composite PMI for the eurozone came in at 53.9 in the first look for September, down from 54.3 in August and below expectations for a reading of 54.1. COMPANY NEWS: Shares of Volkswagen (VLKAY) trading in New York rebounded 6.5% to $27.10 following the resignation of Chief Executive Officer Martin Winterkorn, with the company's supervisory board subsequently praising the decision and saying it will consider his replacement at a meeting Friday. Prior to the CEO change news, the stock was downgraded at research firms JPMorgan, Deutsche Bank and Natixis to hold or equivalent ratings this morning. Accounting for today's advance, U.S.-listed shares of Volkwagen are still down nearly 29% since last Friday, when the EPA publicly accused the automaker of equipping certain diesel cars sold in the U.S. with software that circumvented emissions standards... Against the backdrop of China's President Xi Jinping visiting the U.S., Boeing (BA) announced deals to sell 300 planes to three Chinese companies and set up an aircraft factory in China. The deals are possibly worth tens of billions of dollars in total and represent the largest total order the planemaker has received from Chinese companies, according to Reuters. The Wall Street Journal reported, citing people familiar with the matter, that Cisco (CSCO) plans to announce a partnership with Chinese server maker Inspur Group during President Xi Jinping's visit. MAJOR MOVERS: Among the notable gainers was First Niagara (FNFG), which advanced $1.30, or 14.5%, to $10.26 following a Bloomberg report that the company is exploring a sale. DealReporter noted that potential suitors include Toronto-Dominion Bank (TD), Huntington Bancshares (HBAN) and New York Community Bancorp (NYCB). BioMed Realty (BMR) gained $2.36, or 12.3%, to $21.54 after Bloomberg reported that the company is in talks to sell itself and has attracted attention from firms including Blackstone (BX). Heron Therapeutics (HRTX) rose $7.25, or 21.6%, to $40.81 after announcing that its Phase 2 study of HTX-011 for post-operative pain met its primary endpoint. Shares of a competitor Pacira (PCRX) declined 7.65% after the news, with several analysts remarking that Heron's data compares favorably versus Pacira's Exparel drug. Summit Midstream Partners (SMLP) declined $3.90, or 18.2%, to $17.52 following a Bloomberg report that Energy Capital Partners is seeking to sell its stake in the company. Synchronoss (SNCR) fell 10.75% to $33.37 after research firm Baird said it has become "increasingly concerned" that Verizon (VZ) is "no longer fully committed" to the white-label cloud product it offers in conjunction with the cloud services provider. INDEXES: The Dow fell 50.58, or 0.31%, to 16,279.89, the Nasdaq lost 3.98, or 0.08%, to 4,752.74, and the S&P 500 declined 3.98, or 0.2%, to 1,938.76.

Pacific Crucible: War at Sea in the Pacific, 1941-1942 (Hardcover)
Email or call for price
Special Order
Ian W. Toll's dramatic narrative encompasses both the high command and the "sailor's-eye" view from the lower deck. Relying predominantly on eyewitness accounts and primary sources, Pacific Crucible also spotlights recent scholarship that has revised our understanding of the conflict, including the Japanese decision to provoke a war that few in the country's highest circles thought they could win. The result is a page-turning history that does justice to the breadth and depth of a tremendous subject.
About the Author
Ian W. Toll is an independent naval historian, the author of "Pacific Crucible: War at Sea in the Pacific, 1941-1942" and" Six Frigates: The Epic History of the Founding of the U.S. Navy". "Six Frigates" won broad critical acclaim and was selected for the Samuel Eliot Morison Award, the William E. Colby Award, and "New York Times" "Editor's Choice" list. He lives in San Francisco.

DescriptionIn adventure games, the emphasis is placed on experiencing a story as seen by one or more user-controlled characters, often by manipulating said character(s) and the environment they exist in. Adventure games are characterized by general lack of reflex-based gameplay (action), though they may feature such segments sporadically.
Adventure games initially featured text input and little to no graphics (interactive fiction). Afterwards, graphical adventures became more prominent and text input was replaced by a limited amount of icons/menus with verb commands.
Two distinct sub-genres of adventure games are Western-style adventures (also referred to as puzzle-solving adventure) and Japanese adventures, which typically have no puzzles and minimal interaction. Visual novels are traditionally also considered a sub-genre of adventure games.

Secretary of State John Kerry launched a second day of talks with Israeli and Palestinian negotiators as he ramps up another attempt at a peace deal.
Speaking from Israel, Kerry said it's time to start making hard decisions as talks enter a difficult phase aimed at creating a Palestinian state alongside Israel.
"We are now five full months into this negotiation," Kerry said. "We have always known that achieving peace is a long and complicated process. It's a tough road. But this is not mission impossible."
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the Jewish State wants peace, too, but must have a willing partner.
"The people of Israel and I are prepared to make such an historic peace, but we must have a Palestinian partner who is equally prepared to make this peace," he said. "Peace means ending incitement. It means fighting terrorism and condemning terrorism. It means recognizing Israel as the nation state of the Jewish people."
Netanyahu said recent actions and words from Palestinian leaders make Israelis doubt that the Palestinians are committed to peace.

I am struggling with this. I am using the following SQL to create an XML file, but I am receiving an error: Access denied for user 'designan_testu'@'localhost' (using password: YES)
I can
DELETE, and
UPDATE without error. Just
INTO OUTFILE gives me an error.
Is it returning an error b/c there is an underscore in my db name and user name? FYI, my cPanel's My SQL Database manager attaches
cPanelUser_ to all db names and db user names automatically.
$fileName = 'xml.xml';
$strSQL = "SELECT 'CustomerID','Name','Email','CountryCode','Budget','Used' INTO OUTFILE 'xml.xml'";
$strSQL .= "FIELDS TERMINATED BY ',' ENCLOSED BY '\"' LINES TERMINATED BY '\n' FROM customer;";
$objQuery = mysql_query($strSQL);
echo "Error Export [".mysql_error()."]";
Might the problem be my just syntax? I hope so!
UPDATE: I have logged into cPanel with root access, and in PHP My Admin, i used the command line to execute this:
GRANT FILE ON *.* TO 'designan_testu'@'localhost'; from within the database in question.
That seems to have taken care of the permission problem, thanks.
I was then receiving an error stating that xml.xml already existed. So i added the
unlink($filename); above in an attempt to delete the file before re-writing it, but now I receive 2 errors, 1st:
Warning: unlink(xml.xml) [function.unlink]: No such file or directory in /home/designan/public_html/sandbox/curl/test/index.php on line 14 and 2nd:

Etobicoke Goodwill evacuated after toy grenade found in donation bag
A Goodwill on Dundas St., near Burnhamthorpe Rd., was evacuated after what appeared to be a grenade was found in a donation bag.
Share via Email
Employees at an Etobicoke Goodwill store were given quite a scare Monday afternoon after a dummy grenade was found in a donation bag.
Police say an employee at the store, located on Dundas St. W. near Burnhamthorpe Rd., found the toy packed along with a knife shortly after noon.
The entire store was evacuated as police sent in their Emergency Task Force to determine whether the device was indeed an explosive.
Upon closer inspection, investigators found that the grenade was not real.
"It's not entirely unusual for a package to be dropped off that gives people concern," said Goodwill spokesperson Brian Kellow. "Sometimes people will drop off something like the chest of aS deceased parent containing something staff might be unsure of. Often the donor doesn't know what's in the box."
Kellow added that since the Goodwill was about to close for Christmas, the staff didn't need to return to work.
Meanwhile, police said they are searching for the person who dropped off the suspicious bag.

Parallel developments in domestic and service robotics are opening up exciting possibilities for future manufacturing scenarios that would see robots and humans work far more closely together. These robots will typically be lighter, more mobile, less task specific and far more interactive than typical manufacturing robots of today. Reliable and precise detection of position and orientation in conjunction with the ability to plan and control complex kinematic motions will be vital. Currently, a large variety of sensors exist to measure orientation. The reliability and other attributes of these sensor technologies vary greatly. By using multiple sensors more accurate orientation estimates can be achieved. This paper presents the use of Kalman filters to realise sensor fusion of accelerometer, gyroscope and incremental encoder data. Four Kalman filters are implemented and tuned based on data from a system incorporating the relevant sensors. The filters use either gyroscope or encoder data for the predict step and accelerometer or encoder orientation estimates, or a combination of the two, for the measurement step. There are distinct differences between the responses of these implementations when the system is in operation. 2015-01-01T00:00:00Z EFFECTIVE STRATEGIES FOR GROUP WORK IN ENGINEERING CURRICULA KELLY, KEVIN http://hdl.handle.net/2262/74609 2015-09-18T02:02:44Z 2015-01-01T00:00:00Z EFFECTIVE STRATEGIES FOR GROUP WORK IN ENGINEERING CURRICULA KELLY, KEVIN Joe Butterfield & Paul Hermon Modern engineers are expected to be able to work effectively in teams and accreditation criteria (e.g. Engineers Ireland [1], ABET - Accreditation Bureau for Engineering and Technology [2]) typically make explicit reference to these competencies at both an individual and programme level. However, assessment at university has traditionally been performed at the individual level, and many difficulties are regularly noted by engineering educators when trying to manage group projects. These difficulties include equity of marking, balance between individually and collectively assessed components, provision of appropriate levels of guidance and intervention in managing group dynamics, and over- discretization of marking leading to selective targeting by students at the expense of higher order module level learning outcomes. This work reports on two group-design, project-based modules taught in the author's institution, and a number of specific strategies that have been put in place to address the difficulties noted above. One of the modules is a 5 ECTS [3] second year module and the other is a larger 20 ECTS module taught in fourth year. The rationale behind the implementation of the strategies is noted and results from an end-of year student survey are discussed, to examine the efficacy of these strategies in addressing the commonly encountered difficulties so typical of these types of projects. 2015-01-01T00:00:00Z

BEIJING, Sept. 9, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- MicroConstants China Inc. has signed a definitive agreement to in-license the China rights for a promising Phase 2 liver cancer drug, PTX-9908, from Pertinax Therapeutics of Canada. MicroConstants China will be responsible for funding the clinical development of PTX-9908 in China. Pertinax will receive a royalty in connection with the sales of the product in China, as well as any future assignment or transfer of the rights.
PTX-9908 is an analog of Stromal Derived Factor -1 (SDF-1), a major chemotactic factor that plays a significant role in mediating cell trafficking via selective binding to CXCR4. When PTX-9908 binds to CXCR4, it stops the cancer cells from spreading to other parts of the body, a process called metastasis.
PTX-9908 has been tested in healthy human volunteers and cancer patients in several Phase I/II clinical trials in North America. These studies showed PTX-9908 to be safe and well-tolerated in human and preliminary evidence of efficacy was observed. MicroConstants China will conduct clinical research in China to establish the efficacy, safety and tolerability of PTX-9908 in patients with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma using PTX-9908 infused intravenously.
"Our collaboration with MicroConstants China will enable expedited development of PTX-9908 in China and give us the opportunity to provide a potentially life-saving treatment to a large number of liver cancer patients with limited treatment options," said Dr. Bev Incledon, president of Pertinax. "With MicroConstants China's expertise in global drug development and their GLP/GCP compliance record, I am confident that data generated in China will complement our global d

This year no Lakefront for me (kind of missing it now) so I can do Colorama. Rain is forecast and I am actually hoping that is true. I think slop and rain and a little misery will add to the fun!

April 23, 2011 in City
Inmate filed 63 false tax returns
A man on state Department of Corrections supervision in Richland, Wash., accepted a plea deal Thursday on two counts of filing false claims.
An IRS criminal investigation found Richard I. Vancil, 44, falsified claims for income tax refunds amounting to nearly $93,000 in three years.
According to court documents, in August 2008 Vancil, who was an inmate in the Coyote Ridge Correctional Facility in Connell, Wash., prepared a falsified tax return for a taxpayer identified only as "T.M." for a return of $1,500. In September 2008, federal prosecutors say, Vancil prepared another falsified claim for more than $1,900 on a return for a taxpayer identified as "J.D."
An IRS criminal investigation found that Vancil filed about 63 false claims for income tax refunds totaling nearly $93,000 for the 2005, 2006 and 2007 tax years. The IRS paid more than $54,000 as a result of the false claims; it is unclear if Vancil will face additional charges.
His sentencing is set for July 27. The Class D felony carries a maximum sentence of not more than five years in prison, a fine up to $250,000, up to three years probation and payment of restitution. The court may impose consecutive sentences for each charge.

An overlying driver issues an object identifier (OID) set request of OID_RECEIVE_FILTER_MOVE_FILTER to move a previously configured receive filter. Receive filters are moved from one virtual port (VPort) to a different VPort.
Overlying drivers issue this OID set request to the miniport driver for the network adapter's PCIe Physical Function (PF). This OID set request is required for PF miniport drivers that support the single root I/O virtualization (SR-IOV) interface.
The InformationBuffer member of the NDIS_OID_REQUEST structure contains a pointer to an NDIS_RECEIVE_FILTER_MOVE_FILTER_PARAMETERS structure.
NDIS validates the members of the NDIS_RECEIVE_FILTER_MOVE_FILTER_PARAMETERS structure before it forwards the OID set request to the PF miniport driver.
The PF miniport driver must handle this OID set request atomically. The driver must be able to configure the network adapter to simultaneously remove the filter from a receive queue and VPort and set it on a different receive queue and VPort.
For more information, see Moving a Receive Filter to a Virtual Port.

The OID request completed successfully.
The PF miniport driver either does not support the single root I/O virtualization (SR-IOV) interface or is not enabled to use the interface.
One or more of the members of the NDIS_RECEIVE_FILTER_MOVE_FILTER_PARAMETERS structure have invalid values.

Thunder's Serge Ibaka might consider playing in Europe during lockout
"In the event of an NBA work stoppage or players' strike, it would first have to be determined whether the players are still under a valid contract," Wanninger said. "If this were the case, players cannot play elsewhere…If contracts are not valid any longer, they are free to transfer."
The question is whether NBA players' contracts are considered valid during the lockout, when even players under contract are not receiving their salaries.
"I would rather play to stay in shape rather than stay idle," Ibaka is quoted as saying. "We do not know how the lockout will go or the possibility for a player leaving the NBA to come to play here. But I would like an opportunity to play at a site where people like me. That would be nice, too."
